Amen Stacy! MADD had one punch in a very nasty boxing match.
Doesn't make any difference whether it was below the belt or the lucky knockout

If they save just one its worth the punch. Just last weekend in

disabilities. The link is http://www.madd.ca
Interesting Concept, but not outrageous, by any means. If I thought
dancing naked in the streets of New York or Chicago would make anyone reconsider
doing anything that risky, I too would consider doing it. Granted, that
would be outrageous, if you knew me.
I'm spending too much time in
what is outrageous? that someone ends up in a w/c and has to see his
best friend head out with his ex g/f? that's pretty much real life if you
ask me. this might just make someone think b/4 going out and doing
something stupid - the outrageous part might be - probably it will have no
Very true OC!
I'd rather be slapped for the warning then slapped, after the fact and
ask'd why I didn't think to warn.
And sometimes you have to be and do outrageous things just to get people's
attention.
Just ask any commercial marketing group or ad people.
Best Wishes

But I can also see Rivers point and agree that this commercial should never
be aired in a trauma hospital to a person who is a patient facing and unknown
future. I would also hope that it not be aired in a rehab environment as
people are trying to put their lives back in
I definitely understand where you're coming from regarding meeting too many people with new SCI injuries. I was a peer counselor for quite some time and could not figure out why I had recurring difficulties getting motivated properly. After discovering that the peer counseling seem to be doing
